Law Firm Jipyung announced on March 4 that it has launched the 'June 3 Local Election Response Center' to support election stakeholders—including prospective candidates, preliminary candidates, and official candidates—in managing legal risks ahead of the nationwide local elections scheduled for June 3.

The center plans to provide comprehensive support for legal disputes that may arise throughout the entire election process, starting from the National Election Commission's investigation stage, to police and prosecution investigations, trials, and lawsuits that could result in the annulment of election results. The center is designed to streamline the flow from pre-action legal review, record management in anticipation of future issues, and prompt response in the event of a problem, with a focus on minimizing risks of violations of the Public Official Election Act and the Political Funds Act.

The center will be led by Attorney Jin-Kwon Kim (2nd Bar Exam class), a former National Assembly aide and current director of Jipyung's Public Policy Solution Center. Seok-Geun Yoon, former policy chief of the National Election Commission, has also joined as an advisor. Attorney Kim stated, "We will provide systematic legal counsel for the entire process, from preparing to run for office to responding to disputes after the election."
